Objective:
To investigate the effect of C3AR1 on migration and invasion of HL-60 cells and its mechanism.
Methods:
The HL-60 cells overexpresing C3AR1 was constructed, and the HL-60-C3AR1 cell line was validated by real-time PCR and Western blot. The migration and invasion assay were performed by using transwell system, the PCR Array and flow cytometry were employed to reveal the potential mechanisms.
Results:
C3AR1 gene was significantly expressed in AL cell lines, especially in acute myeloid leukemia(AML cell lines). C3a and SDF-1 together promoted migration and invasion of C3AR1 over-expressed HL-60 cells. The PCR array detection found that 16 genes (including CCL2) were significantly upregulated and 4 genes were significantly down-regulated. However, the expression of CXCR4 did not significantly change after treated by C3a and SDF-1 together.
Conclusion:
Over-expression of C3AR1 shows the effects on the migration and invasion of HL-60 cells under the treatment of C3a and SDF-1 together, which may be mediated by the regulation of CCL2 and other genes related to chemotactic factors.

Activation of Integrins
In "outside-in signaling," external factors in the extracellular space bind to exposed ligand binding sites on integrins. This causes the inactive protein to undergo a conformational change to become active. Integrins are often clustered on the cell membrane. Repetitive and regularly spaced ligand binding...
